2 Risk Management Process c) The likelihood and consequences estimates will then be combined to obtain a total risk score by using the following risk priority table. a) The likelihood of an incident occurring as a result of the hazard will first be assessed. Likelihood Ratings A Almost Certain The event is expected to occur in most circumstances B Likely The event will probably occur in most circumstances C Possible The event may occur at some time D Unlikely The event could occur at some time E Rare The event may only occur in exceptional circumstances b) The consequences (if an incident did occur) will then be determined. To determine the possible consequences, a judgement on the severity of the potential outcome will be made. Consequence Ratings 1 Insignificant Nil injuries 2 Minor First aid treatment, on-site release immediately contained 3 Moderate Medical treatment, on-site release contained with outside assistance 4 Major Extensive injuries, loss of capability, off-site release with no detrimental affects 5 Catastrophic Death, release off-site with detrimental effect d) The following legend will be used to determine the response. Legend Score Action E 25 Extreme Risk. Requires immediate attention H High Risk. Senior management attention required urgently M 9 Moderate Risk. Follow management instructions and procedures L 1-5 Low Risk. Record and review if processes change. Monitor e) Control measures will be implemented using the following hierarchy of controls.
